help with value of Webley Mark VI

[UncleWalther]

I have a Webley Mark VI, dated 1918, broad arrow stamped, with decent bluing (it looks original). I've never fired it, but all seems to function as expected (although the cylinder seems to have some looseness in it). What's the approximate value of such a gun these days? I was thinking of asking about $700. Does that sound right?

I am really not an expert with these sorts of guns, so any advice is appreciated.

Without pics it is hard to say....I seen them go for around 600 on E.E.

Depending on condition, probably $400-$600. Is it still .455 or has it been shaved for .45acp?
Is there wobble in the cylinder with the trigger pressed?

Pics help.

 

[UncleWalther]

Hasn't been shaved. Cylinder is tight on lock up, but wobbles laterally when the trigger is not engaged. I'll try to post some pics. Seems though like maybe that $400 to $600 is the right range to be aiming for.

I paid $400 for a functional example (two years ago), but it sure doesn't have any bluing left.

Got this one for just under that.



I think that everyone into handgun shooting, should own a 455 Webley at some point in time.

YUP, For sure! Lots of fun and way more accurate than my IV (38 S&W ?). Brass can be a bit of an issue to find.

BTB - Yours has way more bluing left than mine.

Brass can be a bit of an issue to find.

You can form .455 brass by trimming and shaving .45 Colt cases. The extractor might skip the rim on occasion, but this isn't much of an issue at the range.
